Performance Analysis

The A10 delivers dense FP16 performance of 31.2 TFLOPS and dense FP32 performance of 31.2 TFLOPS. The RTX 3090 Ti delivers dense FP16 performance of 35.6 TFLOPS and dense FP32 performance of 35.6 TFLOPS. These dense figures indicate the RTX 3090 Ti holds a 4.4 TFLOPS advantage in both precision levels for training workloads that rely on dense matrix operations. Memory bandwidth of 600 GB/s on the A10 versus 936 GB/s on the RTX 3090 Ti allows larger batch sizes during inference and training on the RTX 3090 Ti before memory constraints appear.

How this page is made

  • Specifications come from the NVIDIA, AMD and Intel datasheets for the A10 and the RTX 3090 Ti. Dense and sparse throughput are listed separately.
  • Prices and availability are live: every offer shown is an in-stock, on-demand listing from a provider we track, rechecked every minute.
  • The written comparison (overview, performance notes, when to choose each card, verdict, use cases and FAQ) was drafted with an AI model from the specification table above and passed an automated check that rejects any figure not in that table. It was last generated on . It contains no prices; those are always read live.
